Italy's Niccolo Campriani won shooting gold Monday in the men's 50-meter rifle 3 positions while Matt Emmons of the United States earned the bronze medal.
The 24-year-old Italian won his second medal of the London Games, setting Olympic records with his total and qualifying scores to add gold to the silver he won last week in the 10-meter air rifle. Campriani, who trains in Morgantown, W.Va., posted a score of 1180 in qualifications and won the competition with a total mark of 1278.5 Both records were set by Slovenia's Rajmond Drebec at the 2000 Sydney Games. South Korea's Kim Jonghyun won silver with a total score of 1272.5, while Emmons was 1.2 points behind. France's Cyril Graff placed fourth and was only 0.3 points in back of Emmons, who was in gold position in this event four years ago before a final shot of 4.4 dropped him to fourth.
